The following sections describe the contents and organization of this guide—Deploying Applications with Oracle WebLogic Server ActiveCache:
Note:
WebLogic Server 12.1.2 includes a Coherence container integration that standardizes the way Coherence applications are deployed and managed within a WebLogic Server domain. The instructions for setting up Coherence in this book are provided for backwards compatibility. New implementations should use the Coherence container integration. For details on packaging Coherence based applications, see Developing Oracle Coherence Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server. For details on creating and configuring Coherence clusters in a WebLogic Server domain, see Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.
This document is a resource for:
Application developers who want to develop and configure applications using ActiveCache features, such as the ability to use a simplified approach for accessing Coherence data caches from WebLogic Server applications.
Administrators who want to use WebLogic management tools, such as the Administration Console, Node Manager, and WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST), to create, configure, control, and monitor managed Coherence servers and Coherence clusters.
This chapter, Chapter 1, "Introduction and Roadmap," describes the organization of this document.
Chapter 2, "About ActiveCache," provides an overview of ActiveCache features.
Chapter 3, "Accessing Data Caches from Applications," explains how to use ActiveCache with applications running on WebLogic Server.
Chapter 4, "Accessing and Retrieving Relational Data," describes how to use ActiveCache with TopLink Grid's relational-to-object mapping capabilities to cache relational data.
